Tetris Kelly:
Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen battle it out on the charts. Troye Sivan chats with us about ‘The Idol’ and Jennie, we start breaking down the biggest female K-pop groups and take you with us to West Hollywood Pride. Happy Monday, June 5th, and boy do we have a show for you today at Billboard News. Were you watching TV this weekend? HBO’s exciting new show ‘The Idol’ has arrived featuring The Weeknd, Lily-Rose Depp, Jennie of Blackpink, Troye Sivan and more. And I’m excited to have Troye with me on the show today.
Tetris Kelly:
Hey, Troye.
Troye Sivan:
Hi, Tetris.
Tetris Kelly:
Good to see you again, man.
Troye Sivan:
Good to see you too. What’s going on?
Tetris Kelly:
Well, I am loving this show and your character is quite a role. A lot of us pop culture aficionados wish we had and a pop star’s life.
Troye Sivan:
Like when was the last truly f—ing nasty, nasty, bad pop girl?
Tetris Kelly:
How was it to live our dream, man?
Troye Sivan:
I mean, it was really fun. I know a few creative directors, I’ve dated a few. So I know them really well. I am also fully that person. I catch myself now. Like, you know, on the press tour, for example, Lily’s just like looking unbelievable at all times, of course. And so I’m like, you know, like the gay best friend. It’s like taking a million pictures of her all the time like that, I think is just like a very natural role for me to slip into.
